Congressman Morgan McGarvey first pushed for the law — which would ban no-knock warrants nationally — last year, alongside Republican Sen. Rand Paul.
"Breonna always wanted to save lives. We know she wanted more than that too. She wanted to live. She wanted a family," McGarvey said during the bill's introduction. "A no-knock warrant took all that away from her. With this legislation, we can at least honor her first wish."
Under the bill, officers would be required to identify themselves and their purpose before serving a warrant. Taylor was killed when LMPD officers shot into her apartment during a raid in 2020.
The officers at the scene maintain they did announce themselves. Taylor’s boyfriend disputes that account.
Louisville passed a no-knock ban in 2020. Lexington followed suit, but that ordinance was struck down by the state Supreme Court in September.
